Outdoor Fitness: Fit in Nature

There are no limits to your imagination when it comes to outdoor exercises. We show you the best outdoor fitness exercises: Good mood guaranteed.

Home from work, into the training shoes and out into the air. We love outdoor fitness. Moving the workout outdoors is a great change from an hour-long office job.

Take a deep breath, recharge your batteries and listen to the birds at the same time. To regain your strength after a hard day, there is nothing better than outdoor fitness.

What are the benefits of outdoor fitness?

Exercising outdoors simply puts you in a good mood. The sun helps us to fill up on vitamin D. Vitamin D has a key function for health. It is involved in numerous processes in the body.

If you don't get enough vitamin D, you get sick. You can also take it in small doses through your diet. However, 90 percent of the vitamin is formed in the skin - and this is only possible through the sun. So outdoor fitness is the ideal way to replenish your vitamin D supply :)

Exercising outdoors is the natural alternative to the gym and living room. Through outdoor fitness you can burn a lot of calories. At the same time, your body has a very large oxygen supply. Ideal conditions for your workout! This strengthens your immune system.

Did you know that your human has up to 60,000 different thoughts every day? Exercising outdoors helps you to switch off. You can concentrate fully on nature. That's why a walk in the woods or a short run in the woods should be on your training schedule every week. If you don't have a forest nearby, you can of course go to the park.

Doing the workout in nature also has the advantage that there are hardly any limits to your imagination. You can train endurance, strength, flexibility and coordination. Sometimes you incorporate the park bench into the workout, the next time you go running.

What can you train outdoors?

All. :) Exercises with body weight are especially good, so without bulky equipment. In cities, there is plenty of exercise equipment in the park like pull-up bars or slacklines. You can turn pretty much anything in the park into equipment for your outdoor fitness.

Outdoor fitness has become so popular that a lot of trainers are holding classes outdoors. Already early in the morning you can see groups with yoga fans in the park or Crossfit groups.
